Why thank you for your kind compliment, @xincinsin! I can relate to the late, late, late in the season infatuation ... that's how I got this oneRead this on the subway to work and I'm. Merci!
Well, we have a September theme for scarves you'd wear for a TV interview, so if anyone wants to role-play, I'll applaud
I feel a sudden irrational need for thisMy wallet disagrees and reminds me of the long wishlist for SS19. You look sooooo smart and elegant, Langsam!
Then I immediately purchased Animapolis .... sliding down the slope 
I've been wearing Hermès scarves since the mid-1980s, initially as a way to jazz up the ubiquitous "dress for success" navy suit, white silk blouse, nude stockings, and navy pumps of that time.
But my first purchase was actually an accident. The Hubster and I were on vacation in London, and decided to cruise through Harrod's to see if we could find me some cashmere sweaters. On the first floor, we came to a screeching halt in front of a case overflowing with shimmering jewel tones. "WHAT ARE THOSE???" we asked the nice saleslady? "Hermeez scarves," she helpfully replied.
And so I ended up with La Mare aux Canards because the details on the ducks reminded me of cloisoné.
And four more over the next year, but we won't discuss that. Shhhhh...

I LOVE those colors and the texture in the feathers!! What a beautiful first scarf! Looks stunning on that blue!
I am loving this week's topic--it is so fun to see how we all started down this slippery slope! I'm really enjoying everyone's stories and memories
I still consider myself a scarf newbie, my first purchase just a few months ago...this is the scarf that started it for me, a pre-loved Pivoines moussie. Subtle changeant with white and pink threads.

My SOTD is my first plisse! Didn't think I'd take the plisse plunge, but have been waiting for Ex-libris en Kimonos, and when this popped up, went for it! Am having fun learning to tie it, and am surprised that it ties casually quite well. Am learning not to be afraid of plisseView attachment 4298654
Thanks for these visuals on tying the plisse!
Eyeliner Dallet

Post script..just saw the Eyeliner thread. Oh boy

Lovely scarves but moreover, I am in awe of your sheepskin jacket which is a dream!
the DD with your cardigan is beautiful. I fell for two colors of the Mawari DD and no regrets.
This was my first one ever. I thought it would be my last, but we all know how that story goes. 
Wearing it today with jeans and brown belt and shoes for a casual, no meetings, in-office work day.

Fantastic moma. I love your accessories! What a wonderful gift to yourself to celebrate with.First H scarf was from The mother ship many many years ago. I wanted to celebrate a career high with a classic French scarf. I went for a classic design in the most traditional colors! The SA kept trying to interest me in other designs and colors, but I was determined to be classic. LOL. I wore it now and then, more recently perked up with a line of scarf rings and with a plastic chili necklace.
It does look rather cloisonné and the colours are beautiful. Lovely!I've been wearing Hermès scarves since the mid-1980s, initially as a way to jazz up the ubiquitous "dress for success" navy suit, white silk blouse, nude stockings, and navy pumps of that time.

I love any CW of Plumes but this is special indeed. For some reason, I started sing Barry White, "You're my first, my last, my everything" when I read your post! [emoji23]
This is my first Hermes Scarf ever and bought only a few weeks ago.
At the moment, life is dictating me to take it very slow. Because of circumstances, I purchased quite some Silk the last year ( pyjama’s, cushion-covers) and I’m very pleased with the feel of it to my skin. So, I treated myself with a -new to me - Rocaille. I already bought a vintage Dior scarf last spring and was both content with how it felt and surprised with how it looked on me, so it was an easy ‘jump’. In the last few weeks I noticed, I picked my clothes in a way that I could wear my scarves [emoji23]. When I told my husband, he said he wasn’t surprised because when he met me 38 years ago, I was wearing colourful scarves most every day ... I totally forgot about that ! I guess having children and living in the tropics for 10 years made me change my clothing style .... [emoji6]
And shortly after that, he announced he bought me a H Scarf for my birthday end of April in a colour that he thought would suit me. Analytical as he is, I think he had a peek at my colour-chart so he probably would have chosen periwinkle blue or coral ... I have something to look forward to ! And in the meantime, I am going to hunt for some additions [emoji4] So many beautiful designs and colours !
